SMS doesn't do group messaging or messages over 160 characters.
I have a group of friends and we never were able to agree upon another chat protocol, so we have a group SMS chat that exchanges a a few hundred messages a week; it stared around COVID as we weren't getting together in person.
Anyone who wants to send a message where one of these is true must either use MMS, or convince everyone to sign up for some other messaging service if the people involved are not all either on an iPhone or Android:
- Includes a picture
- Includes a contact
- Longer than 160 characters
- More than one recipient
